“…The excitation functions for the theoretical calculations are shown by a solid line (equil) for the pre-equilibrium reactions and with a solid line (pre-equil) for the equilibrium one while the experimental results are shown by a solid line (exp) [4,7]. The results obtained were done by varying level density and exciton number parameters of the reaction cross sections [14,24].…”

“…The EXFOR (ExchangeFormat) format was designed for the collection, exchange and dissemination of microscopic neutron-induced reaction data based on a combination of coded information [13]. It is the library and format for the collection, storage, exchange and retrieval of experimental nuclear reaction data [14]. The format is flexible in order to record all the necessary information and explain the measured data by defining computer readable coded information.…”

The excitation functions of 58 Ni (α, n+2p+α) 55 Fe, 58 Ni (α, n+3p) 58 Co, 58 Ni (α, n+p) 60 Cu, 58 Ni (α, n+p+α) 56 Co, 58 Ni (α, p) 61 Cu, 58 Ni (α, p+α) 57 Co and 58 Ni (α, 2n+p+α ) 55 Co reactions were studied for particle energies up to 70 MeV. The aim of this study is to investigate the reaction mechanisms of 58 Ni isotopes induced by alpha particle using computer code COMPLET and EXFOR database. Calculated results of the excitation functions are discussed and compared with the experimental data taken from database. Comparisons of theoretical nuclear reaction cross-section calculations give remarkable agreements with the experimental data taken from EXFOR database.

“…These materials are called fertile materials. For fuel cycles using plutonium-239 and uranium-233 as fuel, irradiation of uranium-238 and thorium-232 in the fuel blanket and reprocessing to extract the plutonium-239 and uranium-233 become important steps in the cycle [3]. Plutonium-239 is not a natural isotope of plutonium.…”

In this work, the effects of neutron-induced fissile isotopes of Uranium, particularly; Uranium-233 and Uranium-235 are studied using the Coupled-Channelled Optical Model code (OPMAN) code up to 20 MeV. The high demand for nuclear reactor fuels has necessitated this research. As one of the major naturally occurring radionuclides with lots of fuel prospect, Uranium-233 occurred in trace while Uranium-235 occur in 0.71%. Two steps process away from Uranium-233 and Uranium-235 on neutron capture can produce fissile materials to be used as reactor fuel. Though, Uranium-233 and Uranium-235 are not by them self a fissile material, but they are breeder reactor fuels. Computations were done for both the Potential Expanded by Derivatives (PED) which account for the Rigid-Rotor Model (RRM) that treat nuclei as rigid vibrating sphere as well as account for nuclear volume conservation and Rotational Model Potentials (RMP) which account for the Soft-Rotator Model (SRM) that treat nuclei as soft rotating spherical deformed shapes. Each of the calculated data was compared with the retrieved data from Evaluated Nuclear Dada File (ENDF) which was found to be in good agreement. The threshold energies in all cases were found to be 4 MeV for both PED (Potential Expanded by Derivatives) and RMP (Rotational Model Potentials). It is observed that results from RMP much better agreed with the retrieved data than one obtained from PED.

The activities of the EUROfusion consortium on the development of high quality nuclear data for fusion applications include evaluations of deuteron induced reactions and related data libraries for needs of the DEMO fusion power plant and IFMIF-DONES neutron-source nuclear analyses. Molybdenum is one of the major constituents of the reference stainless steels used in critical components of these projects. While the TENDL deuteron data library was the current reference used by EUROfusion, need of its further improvement has already been pointed out. The weak binding energy of the deuteron is responsible for the high complexity of its interaction with nuclei, involving also a variety of reactions initiated by the nucleons following the deuteron breakup. Their analysis completed that of the deuteron interactions with Mo and its stable isotopes, from elastic scattering to pre-equilibrium and compound–nucleus reactions, up to 50 MeV. A particular attention has been paid to the breakup, stripping, and pick-up direct interactions which amount to around half of the deuteron total–reaction cross section. The due account of most experimental data has validated the present approach, highlighted some prevalent features, and emphasized weak points and consequently the need for modeling/evaluation upgrade.
